Exercise 2

Bartges volunteered to be an assistant coach for the University of North Carolina, Charlotte's women's basketball team. She did well and was later paid for that parttime work. Subsequently, Bartges was offered the part-time position of head coach of the women's softball team. In that job she replaced Wiseman, a male, and was paid as much as or more than he. Later, after a dispute with UNCC's athletic director, a woman, Barges filed suit claiming she was being paid less than male coaches at UNCC because she was a woman. Does Bartges have a claim under the Equal Pay Act?
